EAM Gatherings |
|
| |
|
Semi-Annually,
EAM’s are invited to an “Artists’ Gathering”.
On these evenings visual artists join together. Old and new friends
exchange news and ideas with each other and the group. Newly accepted
EAM’s thus have an opportunity to meet other artists, as well
as in-house artist residents, with us for many years. A sampling of
new EAM’s work will be shown at their introduction Gathering.
Edith Rae Brown and Takayo Noda coordinate these well attended and
muchanticipated evenings.

Annual Exhibiting Artist Members’ Show |
|
| |
|
The
National Arts Club has held this Grand Exhibition for over a century.
The Annual Exhibiting Artist Members’ Show is an annual event
featuring the visual art of our time by our members. History shows
that some of the art exhibited has greatly contributed to, and even
altered the path of American Art.
This Grand Exhibition occupies the National Arts Club Grand Gallery.
Each EAM artist
may submit one recent work (-1-, created within last 5 years).
The work may be in any medium but may not have shown previously
in the National Arts Club Grand Gallery.
Club members as well as the general public look forward to
viewing these works each year.
